Another industry that both 19th Century Bohemia and the 19th Century U.S. had, indeed, that much of the world had for several centuries, was the manufacture of wagon wheels. In the pre-industrial era, this was done almost entirely by craftsman called "wheelwrights" (in English, anyway) in shops like these. The equipment looks to be very similar to what was used in the U.S., although I've never learned how to make wagon wheels so I don't know all the details.
